[@KareemAbdul-jabberUFC]

I love Tim getting the shine he deserves

[@Joes35]

One of the best coaches in the game. He deserves a lot of credit for making Sean as well rounded as he is. I think Sean’s striking is mostly natural talent but Tim has great fight IQ and it’s a great partnership

[@glitchhopphatbeatsonly8194]

​@joes2321 he reminds me of Trevor just sees everything and is about the game even talking about sugar loosing as it is just what it is with a smile. So younge too going to go down as a legend him self

Brother🔥🔥 Tim is more than a MMA coach, he is a LIFE coach. Taught me a bunch just off pods

[@SASBurner]

absolutely Tim is an awesome guy

If you need a life coach you are already in trouble. Ive watched all of tims pods and there isnt one thing he has taught that i didn't think was obvious information.

Tim is the fuckin man! Love watching his and sugas content. People see the hair and automatically think he's a joke when Tim and Sean both live a champion lifestyle

[@phalspar]

They also worry to much about Suga’s sex life, pretty gay to be worrying about how another dude fucks right?😂

[@ethanunderwood1189]

People don't get thay Omalley want ls and likes it that way. His hair and tattoos and funny clothes make it so EVERY SINGLE TIME his opponent cant take him serious and they always underestimate him lol even though they just spent 8 weeks watching tape of him putting paws in his opponents. It's strategically brilliant, and the fact that it makes him interesting and sell is just a huge plus lol

[@quadmft]

this guy gets it 💯

[@amannamednobody]

Tim is a legend, very excited for this one. Thank you team.

[@jesusiskingofkings4428]

Og for sure

[@sierraastrology9975]

A legend in his own mind, don't ever look up to people, I'm sure he has some issues like everyone else, things he can fix, things he's not proud of, things you don't know, definitely not a legend, but I heard red haired people are real strong, and can stand extreme conditions, and are smart

Dude this is how you do an online interview. Both parties have their own setups, and although they’re probably talking on Zoom, they’re using the footage from their own setups and it seamless. Good quality stuff right here.

​@@casgal2431 yea it happens jell wen I was in the army I did 4 tours overseas and combat will make you laugh at things that make your parents dislike you lol

[@cosmicbilly]

He laughed at him hurting himself playing basketball😂 not the injury itself. Kinda like Tom segura folding himself like a lawn chair trying to do a lay up.😅 Some other fighter just recently tore his achilles playing basketball as well. Cant remember who it was, but it's just funny cause they're fighters, and they're playing basketball and somehow get hurt.

[@LaFaMoNKeY]

Damn i had no idea he finished all his pro wins even went 4/5 in his last 5 ol redhawk was a beast

[@njovie13]

Love how Tim is aware how “not smart” Sean looks and is not afraid to talk or joke about it 😂. Goes to show how good their relationship is as coach and student.

reading this gave me a brain aneurysm

[@benmcreynolds8581]

Boyz we should really appreciate DJ getting Tim on the pod as well as guest appearances with Canelo, Oscar, A Jehovah witness, a Carny, and lastly a HIGH level coach! I love watching the Vlogs Sean and Tim have been putting out. Really shows how good their team is. How dialed in they are with how they approach fights, seeing the BTS of Sean before the walk out and Suga is still evolving. Seeing him put on a 5 round masterclass with effective aggression and high dynamic output and movement. It really shows not just the physical aspect of it but the mental aspect of it and how important the fight IQ, the training IQ, the emotional and mental maturity, while balancing relaxation and goofing around and nerding out.. Lol they got it dialed down. It's awesome to see the great minds of DJ and Tim combine. They live such dynamic life's. It's basically a REAL version of Karate Kid.. I love it. Props to these dudes. It's good to see success for people like this and Tim also has Kyler Phillips, Marcus Mario around as well as Sean. They have awesome talent around and a good community there in AZ. Schmittys video really showed a inside look to that recently

[@williammahoney7262]

Mighty and Timbo, the duo we didn’t know we needed! Love to hear you two chop it up!

[@trevorturner6921]

I would love to see some training style video in AZ with suga and tim

[@hrithikbusawon856]

Bruh spot on😂

[@nate6795]

Tim is so underrated as a coach

[@andthe4010]

no, he's actually overrated as fuck. he's nothing but a leech and a failed bellator fighter

[@thisisgettingold]

I don't think he's underrated. He's only 33 and he's only coached one pro athlete and he's already being called one of the greatest MMA coaching minds by pretty much everyone.

[@handsolo1546]

He's just getting started as a coach. But he's off to one heck of a good start with Suga. Most coaches don't get a champion that early, so that kind of speaks to both their abilities right there. Plus he has all that MMA experience and jitz as well.

[@nate6795]

@@handsolo1546 100%. It’s crazy how much hate Sean gets. But they’re a force to be reckoned with. Can’t wait to see what he does in the future. He has a few fighters in the UFC and one of them is close to Sean too.

[@handsolo1546]

@@nate6795 yeah I'd imagine they have some talented guys at the gym. Like what Tim was saying about training with those high level black belts. Eventually all the beatings pay off. I don't think merab will be able to hold Suga down, plus he got that freaky power, like a Tommy Hearns or something, just all leverage

[@jchick426]

Omg I’m so glad you brought up the García and De La Hoya skit because that ish was hilaaarious. I couldnt stop watching it, we need more of these from Tim and Suga. UFC SNL 😂

[@chrisknoblauch270]

Tim is a 1 of the coolest dudes in mma

[@a9s2w5]

You know, the success Mighty has/is having on KZbin/Social Media, is a testament to the mistake the UFC made in NOT supporting this man during his UFC years. Don't let it be lost on you, nearly 500K subs now… That is simply amazing for an athlete outside the UFC in the United States. And says a lot as to how the community regards Demetrius.

[@jessehardin8500]

I feel like going to One was better for DJ then fighting for the UFC.

[@weirdmood8102]

​@@jessehardin8500 I don't think you're wrong, but I also think that just proves OP' point even more.... Typically, it's the opposite path fighters take to gain notoriety, but somehow, MM made it work to his advantage.
